The Vatican has traditionally been very reluctant to give up its treasures and has only recently begun giving access to "outsiders" and even this access was limited until the inception of the Vatican digitization project. Voynich was a Jew. The Vatican Catholic stronghold was probably not eager to do commerce with Jewish bookselling speculators in the early 1900s, a period when Jews were being expelled from Russia, Germany, the Ukraine, and other areas.


To convince people that the Vatican Christian stronghold was willing to sell part of its library to W. Voynich, you will have to come up with examples of other similar transactions during that time period.

evidently the Vatican still thought they owned it in 1962. Kraus asked the librarian to go get it, came back empty.
